In August 2026, Sudan witnessed a continued deterioration in security, human rights, and humanitarian conditions, with an escalation of aerial bombardments, drone attacks, and armed clashes. Killings, the targeting of civilians, and arbitrary arrests and detentions also continued. The most significant events were concentrated in Darfur, Kordofan and Blue Nile states, resulting in civilian casualties and the displacement of large numbers of people.

ACJPS is appalled by the horrific attacks in Elfashir, the capital city of North Darfur that has resulted in bloodshed and massive displacement of residents and IDPs. Since April 2024, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been trying to take over Elfashir. The siege of Elfashir has devastated the city's infrastructure and disrupted essential services. Damage to electricity and water facilities has left many areas without power or running water, with a severe impact on hospitals, schools, and other critical services. Hospitals that remain open are struggling with inadequate supplies to treat the influx of wounded civilians and many succumbing to injuries.
